Re: Made a turbo header today :)
Wow the project looks like its coming along nicely.Is this a drag or street car?I love old rwd imports.I have been wanting a RX2or3 for a while to make a drag car.

Re: Made a turbo header today :)
I love those things! There was a guy at the track with a Rotary with what seemed like a 400 shot on it. That thing flew.

Re: Made a turbo header today :)
The log mainfold was the first try, it probaby would of worked just as well. But I wanted something that mounted the turbo up a little higher. The engine looked a little lopsided with the turbo mounted down low.
Plus I have a little downtime while I wait for the seats to arrive so I can finish the cage. Going to make a stainless minfold from weld L's next, the one I just made is from 1 5/8" 16 gauge steel j-bends (and it was a PITA) Later Randy |
Re: Made a turbo header today :)
yo nice looking starlet very different project nice work PROPS O0

Re: Made a turbo header today :)
nice randy. its getting there. did I read 4130 on the cage correctly? you using chromemoly? man you got me wanting to swap my stuff in the 75 corolla really bad now. I was thinking about what you said as far as leaving it toyota powered. and the thought has crossed my mind a few times. is the 3tc short block and tough as a TF shortblock? I'm really getting pissed with this PCMX software and looking to go standalone and if I do that I could just run toyota power all together and shave off alot of weight.

Re: Made a turbo header today :)
Looks great Randy?
What kind of bender did you use for the cage? I'm thinking about buying a bender and have gt350 do the welding for me since he's a better welder. :) |
Re: Made a turbo header today :)
sexy

Re: Made a turbo header today :)
The 3TC block and crank are darn strong :), but pretty much everything else has to be replaced :(.
But I needed a cahnge, so I went for it. I still have never even heard a 3tc run. lol Yep using 4130 for the cage, figured since I have a tig now I might as well use it as much as possible. The bender I am using is from pro-tools http://pro-tools.com/105.htm I also picked this up and it has been a great help http://www.2020softwaresolutions.com/prod02.htm I'n hoping for 400hp at the wheels, that along with a raceweight around 2300# along with rear drive should put it into the 6's (1/8th mile) pretty easy. Sure is going to be fun driving to the track, bolting on the slicks and wheelie bar and having some some fun :) I hope to have some pictures of the car stting on dragliyes here soon.. not really ready for them but I need some motivation.
